Easy Enchiladas

They’re filled with Hot Italian Turkey Sausage, not expected in what one may think when you hear “enchilada.” But the spicy and hot sausage is a welcomed delight with the grilled veggies and filling beans. Consider using a whole wheat or multigrain tortilla, as I did here, to amp up the “healthy” factor.

I promise, you won’t be disappointed. These are satisfying, even at one enchilada per serving. I used low sodium, organic and natural ingredients- fresh or canned, to make this and all recipes “clean.”

What would you add? A zesty fat free salsa, maybe? I enjoyed these enchiladas for dinner and lunch the next day. Any left overs beyond that can be wrapped tightly and frozen. Now this is a phenom “frozen lunch.” Just reheat in the oven covered by aluminum until the filling is hot. The aluminum will keep the tortilla and cheese from burning.

2. Place the tortillas on a work surface; spoon the sausage mixture down the center of the tortillas. ^Sprinkle 1/2 an ounce of the shredded cheese over this mixture per enchilada. Roll them into cylinders. Place, seam side down, in the baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 an ounce of shredded cheese per enchilada and bake until cheese is melted, ◴ 30-35 mins. ^The recipe calls for 4oz of shredded cheese, 1 oz per enchilada. Let stand ◴ 10 mins before serving.

One enchilada is one serving. 9 points plus per serving. Add a lean side salad if you need a bigger meal. This would be additional and separate points.

^These are steps that I recommend for a better tasting meal- revised from the original Weight Watchers recipe.
